My Night

I currently want to gauge out my eyeballs with an ice cream scoop

My dad demanded my phone at 9:30 at night so that he could gain access to my location at all times. he then all but yelled at me to go wake up my mother to get her phone because it has access to mine. she then says that he can't have it and comes downstairs to argue with him all the while I'm in the middle of this and Samuel is just taking shots at me (verbally). I then go to clean the kitchen because that is a daily chore that I have while my dad is demanding my location and simultaneously calling me irresponsible and a lair.

I don't like people rifling through my shit and I especially dislike when people look at my phone. I feel like that was the reaction that came out of being bullied as a child and just kinda being autistic anyway. 

I feel like I live in a tiny clear glass house with me standing butt ass naked in the middle of it and my only solace is the solid black bar that I put in front of myself in a desperate attempt to remain pg13.

sorry for the long rant I just wanted to write my feelings down and you seem like you can relate on some level

You always got strange looks whenever you fed the neighborhood ravens. “I give them food, they give me company,” you’d say. One day, a raven excitedly comes up to you and whispers, “A neighbor plots against you, my lord.”

Some would say I’m a raccoon

I have been accused of committing crimes, I am Queer coded, and I get very excited about the prospect of rifling through someone else’s garbage
